    June 2012 Applications

    I just got the biodata form and paid the $490 permanent residence fee, but still no medical request (the date in my profile refers to the date I found out my application was eligible after CEC and got the RPRF). Is this normal?

    June 2012 Applications

    CIC received my application on June 28th, I got the AOR on July 31st and just got an e-mail saying that my application has been found eligible for processing under CEC (yay!) and asking me to pay the Right to Permanent Residence Fee. It also said to fill out the attached Biodata form but I did...

    Reference letters from co-op employers

    Yes and yes. Not sure how important these are but I would include them just to be safe.

    Student: when does my one-year skilled work experience start to count?

    Nope. Lots of people have gotten rejected for this reason. The date CIC starts counting your work experience is the day you receive your diploma, so July 2012 in your case.

    Yes. So if you get a medical, you'll know that your work experience etc. are considered acceptable for CEC.

    June 2012 Applications

    Yep, my due date is July 31, 2013, one year after I got my AOR. It's a little strange that this is a function of AOR date and not application date. I wouldn't be too discouraged if your file hasn't been looked at yet... GCMS is just a snapshot at one point in time and by the time you get the...

    I did - applied on January 11th and got them on February 8th. Looks like my file hasn't been opened yet.

    Where can I find the minimum wage requirements for any NOC category

    If there is a gap between your pay and the salary typical for the occupation, it may be worth getting your supervisor to explain why that's the case (e.g. if you were fresh out of university with little experience, the pay could be lower). Another thing to watch out for is making sure that...

    Inquiry on work experience requirement for CEC

    I think scheduled, paid breaks do count, but an unpaid leave of absence doesn't.

    PR- CEC (URGENT)

    Yes it is. You can look up the first 3 digits (625 in this case) in the NOC matrix: http://www30.hrsdc.gc.ca/NOC/English/NOC/2006/html/Matrix.html Your job has to be within Skill level 0, A or B for you to be considered for CEC.

    Letter of reference

    Yeah, I would be super cautious about declaring everything they ask for; in my opinion the better option would be to declare your work experience and submit whatever reference letters you can get (they probably won't care about the lack of detail in these, but not listing all of your experiences...

    Change in Employment Status

    You're right, it is confusing. Also, on the CIC website, if you search for CPP-O it says: "Please e-mail us (OttPilot-Immigration@cic.gc.ca) in any of the following cases: You change your marital status There is a birth or death in your family. You change your mailing, residential or e-mail...

    Change in Employment Status

    I just wanted to say thank you SO much for posting this, I totally overlooked this part in the AOR, will e-mail to let them know of my own change in occupation asap! Thank you!

    Letter of reference

    So just to clarify - you don`t need to prove you have 3 years of experience (just 12 months), but for some reason it seems that you do need to submit reference letters from ALL the jobs you`ve had in Canada for the past 3 years. I submitted a reference letter from my co-op employer which was...

    Hi everyone, I have followed this thread for a long time now and thought I'd join in! It's been really cool to see June applicants finally starting to get medical requests. Fingers crossed for all of us. CIC received my application on June 28, 2012 and I got an AOR on July 31. My visa...

    Providing additional documents

    Thanks eng3a. I'm wondering if anyone knows if they'll add the text of the e-mail I sent them (as this contains important explanations), or just the actual documents?
